New ‘affordable’ Mexican restaurant to open in Central Milton Keynes, serving tacos, burritos, nachos and margaritas

The UK’s largest fast-casual Mexican restaurant brand is to open up at Midsummer Place shopping centre next month,

Tortilla will open its doors in Midsummer Boulevard Friday June 16.

To celebrate the launch in true fiesta style, the restaurant is treating its first customers to a tasty free lunch between 12pm and 1.30pm on the opening day, providing they register here.

They will also be offering 2-for-1 on burritos and naked burritos from June 19 to June 20.

The launch of Tortilla in Milton Keynes brings with it the brand’s customisable and authentic California-style menu, with dishes to suit all tastes, cravings or diet.

Customers can build their own meal with a choice of mouth-watering fillings such as Mexican rice, black beans, grilled seasonal veggies and fresh mild, medium and hot salsas, including fresh, hand-smashed guacamole.

The restaurant seats 40 and also offers a click-and-collect takeaway service or delivery.

Its choice of protein, served in tacos, burritos, bowls, quesadillas and atop nachos queso, includes slow-cooked Barbacoa with grass-fed British Isle brisket, grilled chicken or succulent pulled carnitas pork. Endorsed by Vegan Friendly, more than 70% of Tortilla’s toppings and fillings are plant-based, including its organic tempeh Chilli No Carne and grilled seasonal veg.

Tortilla provides an affordable bite-to-eat with filling burritos from £7.20, a trio of tacos from £7.00, and beers and margaritas from £4.20. The Tortilla loyalty club also offers customers a complimentary 10th main after nine purchased—ideal for local workers or shoppers.

All toppings are prepared fresh on-site each morning and every dish is made to order.
